_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Test the users system to determine the operating system, version
     of R installed, and version of JAGS installed.  Some information
     is collected from other functions such as .platform and Sys.info. 
     Used by the run.jags function.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     testjags(jags=findjags(), silent=FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    jags: the system call or path for activating JAGS.  Default calls
          findjags() to attempt to locate JAGS on your system
          automatically.  In unix the system call should always be
          'jags', in Windows a path to the JAGS executable or the
          enclosing /bin or /JAGS folder is required.

  silent: should on-screen feedback be suppressed?  Default FALSE.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The following self-explanatory information is returned:  os,
     JAGS.available (logical), JAGS.path, popen.support
     (internalisation of terminal output), JAGS.version, R.version,
     R.GUI, R.package.type, username.
